When does StubHub pay sellers?
If you're counting on your StubHub payout to hit your account by a certain date, it helps to understand how their payout timing usually works — and why it's often tied to the event date.
This is a high-level summary based on public guidance, not official StubHub policy. For your specific sale, always rely on the payout status in your StubHub account.
Typical StubHub payout timeline
In general, StubHub aims to pay sellers after the event, once they confirm there were no major issues with the tickets. Based on public examples:
- Funds are usually released shortly after the event date.
- Payouts may take several business days to appear, depending on your bank or payout method.
- Weekends and holidays can slow down how quickly funds show up in your account.
If you need cash quickly, it's safer to assume you'll be paid a week or more after the event rather than the day of.
Planning around StubHub payout timing
Because StubHub waits until after the event, ticket resale is rarely a same-day cash solution. When planning:
- Expect payout after the event and build that into your budget.
- Double-check your payout method in your StubHub account well before the event date.
- Keep an eye on your listing and delivery status so there are no last-minute issues that could delay payment.
To understand whether StubHub is your best option overall, you can also compare fees and estimated payouts with other marketplaces using the ticket resale payout calculator.
